    The primary in Texas is in March, and which means I'm about a month away from voting Barack.

    There is something wrong when I seem to know more about the American election than the Canadian one...

    I'm only supporting Obama because Edwards dropped out. But, anyway, I'm kinda disgusted at the thought that Clinton won Tennessee.

    Well since everyone seems to be supporting Obama in this thread (well ALMOST everyone)...Clinton in an act of desperation just gave 5 million of her own money to her campaign. Now Barack Obama is calling on his supporters to match that 5 million with their own money. Since February 5th already over 4.5 million has been donated.

    Let's close the gap!

    It just jumped up to 4.7 in less than 30 mins!

    We just need 300,000 more! Donate people! Barack's servers are getting hammered and showing this message:

    http://www.barackobama.com/images/sitedown_traffic.jpg

    But still...the minute it comes back up after showing that, please donate!

    The goal is to reach 5mil before 11PM EST which is when the California polls close.

    Some people are donating 1k at a shot which is INCREDIBLE.

    *EDIT* 4.8 million now!

    We did it!

    No, that's the Clinton spin machine at work. Those votes are every state combined, and yes, Hillary won the popular vote but not by much. But that doesn't mean shit. It's delegates that matter, and so far, Obama has won those.

    Am I the only one who does somewhat disagree with the idea that the person with more votes can lose the election?



    One other question: is there any particular reason as to why everyone is so opposed to Clinton? I don't know much either way, and was just curious.

    I like Obama though, I'm glad he is winning.

    A bitch slap right at Hilary Clinton's efforts. :lol:

    I think Obama only won about 7-9 less delegates than Hilary for Super Tuesday? Either way he's doing great.

    Many, many things. I'm sure the other posters have much to comment on how everyone hates Hilary than myself.

    No. But neither of the systems that are commonly used are really perfect.
